SPOUTING OR GUTTER HANGER Filed March 28, 1929 Patented Oct. 18, 1932 UNITED STATES CONRAD A. GARBiAUGH, OF DICKEYS MOUNTAIN, PENNSYLVANIA SPOUTING OR GUTTER HANGER Application filed March as, 1929. Serial No. 350,784.

This invention relates to a spouting or gutter hanger or bracket. 7 A It is aimed to provide a generally improved article of this character which does not require the use of nuts'or bolts and which will enable quicker and easier'attachment and adjustment of the parts. i

The invention resides in the novel combination, parts described hereinafter withreference to accompanying drawing illustrating an operative embodiment.

In said drawing i I Figure 1 is a view showing the invention in side elevation, with a gutter supported thereby, the latter'being shown in section.

Figure 2 is a proved device, 1

Figure 3 is a sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Figure 1 and omitting the gutter,

Figure 4 is a vertical sectional view taken on the line 4-4 of Figure 1,

Figure 5 is a fragmentary rear view of the anchoring section of the hanger, and

Figure 6 is a detail perspective view of one of the securing clips used for the gutter. Referring specifically to the drawing, 10 generally designates an anchoring section which consists of an inverted U-shaped attaching plate 11 whose legs are provided with various openings 12 for the accommodation of nails, screws or other fastening means which are driven into a building. The bight of the attaching bracket or plate 10 is forwardly ofi'set as at 13 and in its lower edge has a V-shaped notch 14. bar 15 is forwardly offset by said portion 13 and has a lug or element 16 which is disposed in the notch 14 and the bar is fastened to the portion 13 by a rivet or the like at 17. The sides of the bar 15 are in planes at right angles to the attaching surface of the plate 10 and one of them is provided with teeth 18. A hanger bracket 19 is adapted to be supported at difierent elevations on the bar 15. A portion 20 on said bracket 19 is adapted for abutment against the rear surface of the bar and a toothed portion 21 also I on said bracket 19 below and in spaced relation to the portion 20 and on opposite sides arrangement and details of the front elevation ofthe im that the bracket 19 may be moved to any de- A depending tothe same, is adapted to engage adjacent teeth 18 to thereby hold the bracket 19 against downward displacement. The fastening of the bracket 19 to the bar is augmented by a pin 22 which is removably passed through openings 23 provided in v flanges 24 on bracket 19 and which pin 22 occupies an'adj acent groove between teeth 18.

The bracket 19 may be generally curved as shown in order to conform to the curvature of gutter or spouting at 24, the bracket having a hook 25 to overlap'one edge of the gutter 24 and having a hook 26. A clip of the form shown in perspective in Figure 6, which is generally designated 27 has an opening 28 adapted to engage the hook 26 and also has a clamp portion 29 which engages a bead 30 on the'gutter 24.

Byreason of the construction described, it will be seen that the bracket 19 may be readily applied to the bar 15 when the bracket is tilted as suggested in dotted lines in Figure 4, so as to receive the bar 15 in the slotvprovided between the elements 20 and 21, and

sired elevation along the bar while thus tilted, after which it is moved to vertical position so that the pin 22 may be applied as shown in Figures 1 and 4.

- Various changes may be resorted to provided they fall within the spirit and scope of the invention.

I claim as my invention A device of the class described comprising an attaching bracket of U-shape having its biglit uppermost, an offset portion integral with the bight, a bar having an attaching member forwardly of its rear edge, means securing the attaching member to the offset portion, said ofiset portion having a notch entered by the bar at its junction with the attaching portion, said bar thereby being offset from the outer surfaces of the legs of the attaching bracket in line with the space between said legs, and a supporting bracket adjustably mounted on the bar, the movement of the supporting bracket being facilitated by the positioning of said bar.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
